13 NEWCOMERS" IN WCRLO SERIES Pirates And Six Y a nke e s Eace First Chara* In Big Show By Paul W. White w (U E’ Staff Correspondent) New York. Sept. 29— (UP)- Among the 47 ball players on the rosters of the New York Yankees and the Pittsburgh Pirates who are eligible for the World Seiies are 13 who never have figured in the Post- eason chmMionship. On at least seven of the newcomers, provided the Pirates are destined to meet the Yanks In the series, some of the strain is due to fall: And eventual triumph may hang largely on their ability to withstand tension. ’ Five Yankees have yet to play before series crowds. They are Wilcey .Moore and George Pipgta.i, pitchers, Jack Grabowski, catcher. Julian Wera thii.l baseman and Cedric Burst, outfielder. The Pirates who would find participation in the October big money a novelty are Paid ami Lloyd Waner, <mtfieldeis, Carmen Hill. J' hn Miljus, ami Joe Bawson, pitchers. Joe Cumin sin] Hil Rhyne, imiehleis and Fred Brickoil, nutfieldor. Moote and Pipgras are likely to on tor the box fat the Yanks. The former has boon th«- Hired valuable rei»' i pitcher in either league and if three opponents get on base in the late in nings it is a good bet that he and hie sinker ball will see aeti n. Pipgras hss steadily p: greeted until he is ready to take his regular turn on the mound ’Grabowski, who came to the iugnaen from Chicago, piobably will be behind tha bat in several games. The Pirates offer the Waner b’others as reguiats wh se work through out the season kept them near the tf»n. If the Piiatas clinch th.' pennant, they can look back upon the months since April and offer thanks to the Waner ti ibe for sending two sons to Pittsburgh. Carmen Hill is an almost certain ; hurler if the Pirates come through I At njus has turned in fine $ his Inst time out. Dangerous as it is to pick the heroes of wurld .seiies engagements it might he hazarded that the Warners and Wileey Moore wiH find their w.*j into the record bunks as etuis of t’<e BMI7 classic.
